Overview of This Information
Collection
Type of Review: Revision of an
existing information collection.
Title of Information Collection:
Generic Clearance Authority for the
National Endowment for the
Humanities.
Abstract: The National Endowment
for the Humanities is seeking to renew
its generic clearance authority. The
generic clearance authority includes all
NEH information collections, except
one-time evaluations, questionnaires,

updated estimated time per response

fifteen hours were needed to complete
a grant application. Further study has
increased the estimate to sixty hours per
proposal. The burden estimate for
associated forms and reporting
requirements has not changed.
